Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 949: Chapter 480: Hourly Rate of 500,000?_2

"Are you an idiot, or are we idiots?"

"Ha, ha!"

Zhu Lin gave an awkward laugh, then quickly thought it through and said, "We want machinery, machinery."

"Okay, let’s sign the contract then!"

The representative from Red Wind Industry said, "You need machinery indeed, because our cooperation will continue. I feel that the company is going to increase its investment in R&D."

"Oh, oh! That’s great, working with a big company like you is so refreshing!"

Only then did Zhu Lin nod his head in relief.

In fact, he wasn’t asking for much; it was just that standing by as a bystander made him green with envy. Zhao Yi had just raked in twenty-five million in one go; his research and development might be arduous, but no one knew better than Zhu Lin how much Zhao Yi had contributed to the R&D.

"One week?"

"That’s really a bit short, but the working hours should not exceed fifty hours!"

That was Zhu Lin’s assessment.

Although there was a period when he was away on a trip to Shencheng City, Zhu Lin spent most of his time in the laboratory. As far as he knew, Zhao Yi hadn’t even shown up at the Mechanical Laboratory in the first few months of the collaborative research. Later, when he did come, there was a breakthrough in R&D not long after, and then there was the subsequent production, manufacturing, testing, and so on.

In the later stages of the work, Zhao Yi would just occasionally come by to help solve some technical manufacturing issues, averaging maybe half an hour per day if that.

Even if we take the maximum of fifty hours, he earned twenty-five million in total?

An hourly wage... of five hundred thousand?

Zhu Lin calculated several times to ensure he hadn’t made a mistake, and was shocked by this ’hourly wage.’ This meant that Zhao Yi could earn enough in about two days to buy an ’old Mechanical Laboratory’?

This...

Thinking about how hard it would be to earn a hundred thousand in a year, and walking around outside being considered a high earner, he suddenly felt that his future seemed bleak.

The disparity between people is just too great!

...

After the technology and patent rights had been settled, the Red Wind Industry’s technical staff left. They made a detailed report to the company, and then immediately dove into the work of converting the technology into manufacturing.

Meanwhile, Red Wind Industry applied to the securities regulator to release information on significant R&D success.

The application was quickly approved.

On Monday at noon, after receiving approval from the securities regulator, Red Wind Industry announced its major R&D success: a breakthrough had been achieved in the electric spindle technology developed in collaboration with the Mechanical Systems and Automation Laboratory, producing a new type of electric spindle that approached the international advanced level and successfully applying for five brand new international patents related to spindle technology.

At the same time, Red Wind Industry’s official website released detailed information about the R&D, patents, and core parameters of the new electric spindle.

After the announcement, the secondary market reacted swiftly.

Previously, the stock price of Red Wind Industry could be described as ’incessantly noisy.’ After the New Year, news broke that Zhao Yi had bought shares of Red Wind Industry and that Red Wind Industry was collaborating with Yanhua University’s Mechanical Laboratory for R&D. The share price of Red Wind Industry rose continuously, reaching a peak increase of nearly double at eighteen yuan per share.

Subsequently, it began to fall continuously, slowly. Although the decline each day wasn’t much, the share price had now dropped to just twelve yuan.

In the meantime, many securities investors had expressed their views, saying they were not optimistic about investing in Red Wind Industry. Their reasons were all similar, "In the end, it all comes down to rational investment!"

"Return to value investing!"

"Red Wind Industry has become the stock with the highest P/E ratio in the military sector, but it’s mostly just Academician Zhao’s reputation supporting it."

"Academician Zhao has given investors confidence, but the star effect will eventually weaken." freёwebnoѵel.com

"The stock valuation of Red Wind Industry should only be between eight and nine yuan. The current price of over ten yuan is still too high."

"..."

There were too many similar statements.

A few months ago, Red Wind Industry had really flared up, and every ’securities expert’ had jumped in to conduct detailed analyses. Many ’securities experts’ were pessimistic, and this was one of the reasons why the stocks of Red Wind Industry were ’incessantly noisy.’ Even those with utmost confidence in Zhao Yi, if they kept hearing that their stocks would keep falling, would definitely consider selling them as soon as possible.

Now, things were different.

After Red Wind Industry disclosed the significant technological R&D news, many people had yet to respond, still trying to analyze what the news meant, when Red Wind Industry’s secondary market shares hit the daily limit up.

On the same day, many people started inquiring about what the news from Red Wind Industry meant.

Immediately, ’securities experts’ stepped forward with certainty, stating, "Red Wind Industry disclosed significant R&D news, and the market reacted instantly."

"A limit up signifies optimism!"

"I estimate this surge will lead to more gains for a while, tomorrow it will continue to rise sharply..."

"I suggest making a decisive entry first thing in the morning!"

"Chasing this wave of increases will only result in earnings, with no losses..."

This ’securities expert’ didn’t receive any good reviews, because ordinary stock investors also had memories. They vividly remembered how he continuously expressed negativity about Red Wind Industry.

Now you’re optimistic just because it hit a limit up?

A weathervane, perhaps?

A slew of comments followed, "Didn’t you say we should return to value investing, to rational investment? Didn’t you say you were pessimistic about Red Wind Industry?"

"I liquidated my position because I trusted you, and now here’s a limit up!"

"Damn, I missed the chance to get half the money for a Ferrari! It’s too hard to get on board now!"
